Democracy-Now: Bishop William Barber: Democrats Deserted Working Poor on Healthcare, Living Wages, Voting Rights - Bishop Barber:
"We know that in 2020, when Harris and — Biden and Harris focused on living wages and voting rights out front, that they got 56% of the votes of those that make less than $50,000 a year in a family of four. But this year, the exit polls show that it was even, 49-49. Trump came up, Democrats went down. And the question becomes: Why? Did we adequately focus on the 30 million poor, low-wage, infrequent voters that held the key to the largest swing vote in the country?
Did white women, for instance, who are against taking abortion rights, then — but also voted for Trump and chose Trump? They’re with Harris on the abortion issue but not for presidency.
I didn’t see one debate where there was a focus on poverty and low wage, even though 800 people are dying a day from poverty, even though you have a million — over 32 million people making less than a living wage.
Why didn’t the Democrats, for instance, bring up living wage in the Senate before the election and force a vote on it, to expose where the Republican Party actually stood on this critical issue? Because everywhere that raising the minimum wage and paid family leave and things that matter was on the ballot, they won.
We’re talking about 140 million poor and low-wage people. We’re talking about 43% of our country that’s poor and/or low-wealth. We’re talking about adult population, people who make less — who are $500 away from economic ruin. We’re talking about 800 people that die per day.
We have the data. Three Nobel Peace Prize economists won the Nobel Peace proving that raising the minimum wage would not hurt jobs, would not force more taxes and would not make prices rise.
Wonder why the geniuses at the DNC, David Brock and Neera Tanden never thought of any of this?

Intercept: The Answer to Trump's Victory is Radical Action:
"Democrats bet on appeals to neoconservatives — including war criminals like Dick Cheney — and touted harsh border policies, bolstering rather than challenging Republican anti-immigrant frameworks...
Like President Joe Biden, Harris supported a genocide and failed to distinguish herself from extremist Zionists like Trump...
Harris’s economic plan was Wall Street and Silicon Valley-friendly, wrapped in the language of “opportunity” for the mythic “middle class,” rather than a needed reckoning with the demands of a diverse working class living in this desperately unequal superpower...
we have also just witnessed, yet again, the resounding failure of an establishment Democratic Party, seemingly more committed to rightward triangulation than providing a positive program for the country, its citizens and denizens...
the Democratic establishment has made clear that it is committed to a failed policy of appealing to the right, only to lose to the right...
Democratic strategies have failed and harmed the most vulnerable communities both in the U.S. and those who suffer under the yoke of U.S.-backed wars...
the left has no time to wait for self-reflection on the part of this predictable party...
Movement politics — long and painfully aware that there can be no robust reliance on the Democratic mainstream — is where we must turn and further build.

11/5/24
Once again the two-party system has delivered a disastrous result for the American people. Now we must continue the uprising for people-powered politics and demand the world we deserve - which will never be delivered by the twin parties of war and Wall Street.
The Democrats have no one but themselves to blame for losing to Trump again, after their decades of failures and betrayals that paved the way for Trump’s rise in the first place.
From their unconditional support for the endless war machine and genocide in Gaza, to their subservience to Wall Street, to their indifference to human rights, to their reckless acceleration of the fossil fuel pollution driving climate collapse, to their assault on democracy - on all these issues and many more the Democratic Party has betrayed the trust of the people.
This election removes any remaining doubt that the Democratic Party has utterly failed the people it claims to represent, and that we need a genuine opposition party for people, planet, and peace.
Over the last year, we have continued our long-term efforts to build the movement for peace, for a livable planet, and for all the countless millions of people in America and around the world who have been neglected and abused by the parties of war and Wall Street. The momentum we achieved despite the pervasive media blackout threatened the Democratic Party so much that they set up an unprecedented operation dedicated to the suppression of our grassroots movement. They harassed us with expensive lawsuits to kick us off the ballot, marginalized and smeared us in the media, posted jobs seeking people to sabotage our campaign, and even launched attack ads against us - something they’d never done before for any independent challenger.
These unprecedented attacks against us by the corrupt political establishment backfired madly. These attacks inspired a whole new multiracial, multigenerational coalition of voters, organizers, and activists to join forces with the Green Party – and that coalition will continue to grow. Our campaign built relationships with powerhouse anti-genocide activists, especially in the Muslim and Arab American community; the Black community; the student movement; the reawakened antiwar movement; the radical labor movement; and many others.
Year after year, millions of eligible voters have refused to vote for either establishment party, particularly young people, people of color, and people of lower income. In the 2020 presidential race, a full third of eligible voters declined to participate. These are exactly the people our agenda speaks to. The vast majority of voters are calling for a political alternative like the Green Party that serves the greater good instead of the warmongers and economic elites.
The political establishment is quaking in their boots that the public is discovering us. They will be shocked to see how much our coalition grows as more voters discover they actually have a choice for the future they deserve.
We have the solutions to end genocide and empire; to adopt a foreign policy based on international law, human rights and diplomacy; to tackle the climate emergency; to reverse wealth inequality and invest in human thriving; to dismantle systems of oppression and build a society rooted in justice, freedom, and equity.
Our movement for people, planet, and peace is aligned with the values and priorities of the American people, and together we have the numbers we need to transform our future. We only have to get the word out to the millions of Americans who reject the failed status quo, and bring them into our movement.
Everything we have achieved together is a victory for working people, for justice, for peace and a future where all of us can thrive.
Thank you for your unwavering support and for joining in this fight to build an America and a world that works for all of us. We will only get stronger from here.
The pressure will continue to build for the political transformation that the American people demand. The political elites will continue to tell you that resistance is futile. Ignore them. This is our moment.
Together, we are unstoppable.

Stein quickly hit back, swiping at Ocasio-Cortez that “what’s seriously predatory is pretending your candidate is ‘working tirelessly for a ceasefire’ when in reality they’re actively arming and funding genocide,...
Democrats sue to kick us off ballots, hire operatives to infiltrate and sabotage us, lock us out of debates, fight ranked-choice voting, then act concerned that Greens have only won 1,400 elections. So which party is authentic, and which is predatory?”
Some of her supporters: "AOC trying her best to drag Jill Stein for ‘showing up every four years and doing nothing,’ after sitting idle in office for the past 11 months, watching a genocide unfold, is next-level scumbaggery,”...
"Kamala Harris honeymoon is over, so now Democrats are panicking. So they ordered AOC and a bunch of liberals to mass smear Dr. Jill Stein out of desperation,”...
"This is a really embarrassing thing to watch—supposed progressives being attack dogs for a party and a candidate that is literally complicit in genocide while trading the only anti-genocide candidate on enough state ballots to win the election.”
“See, we don’t take no PAC money. We are not knee deep in Raytheon and Lockheed Martin and y’all’s blood money,”
“Predatory is murdering 41,000 people in 11 months and then when they try to speak up, muzzling them when they come up on the stage. You slaughter Palestinians like animals and then you muzzle them like animals,”

Mercury News: Full Text of Kamala Harris' Acceptance Speech -
Excerpts:
"My entire career, I have only had one client. The People."
"I promise to be a President for all Americans."
"You can always trust me to put country above party and self."
"As Attorney General of California, I took on the Big Banks. Delivered $20 billion for middle-class families who faced foreclosure. And helped pass a Homeowner Bill of Rights—one of the first of its kind." Completely false.
"...we will create what I call an opportunity economy. An opportunity economy where everyone has a chance to compete and a chance to succeed. Whether you live in a rural area, small town, or big city.
As President, I will bring together: Labor and workers, Small business owners and entrepreneurs, And American companies.
To create jobs. Grow our economy. And lower the cost of everyday needs. Like health care. Housing. And groceries.
We will: Provide access to capital for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and founders. We will end America’s housing shortage. And protect Social Security and Medicare.
"...we will pass a middle class tax cut that will benefit more than 100 million Americans."
"I will bring back the bipartisan border security bill that (Trump) killed. And I will sign it into law."
I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself. Because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that the terrorist organization Hamas caused on October 7th. Including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival.
At the same time, what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost. Desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety, over and over again. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking.
President Biden and I are working to end this war such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity. Security. Freedom. And self-determination."
These are the promises that she made. Also see entry of 8/16 for more promises. Why does "The Big Rock Candy Mountain" keep playing in my head?
Other policy positions:
She does not support a ban on fracking.
